I selected "Other" simply because I haven't bought it or read it yet. I didn't want it to inform my ideas on the Warlord we've been working on in the Warlording the Fighter thread, until I'd worked through all of the feedback and initial design there. I wanted to start with a clean slate and...

And your OP - the very premise of the thread - is different how? Yeah, we're done here. Goodbye.

That could very well be it. Maybe they were just giving it something...anything...not focused on the Combat Tier. Strictly speaking, Indomitable has out-of-combat functionality (has application in the Exploration tier), but it's still combat of a sort. Eldritch Knight doesn't have anything...

I didn't say it was the only feature at 3rd level, nor does your reply address the actual context of my post.:erm:

Gracias Senor! Much appreciated. I'll put it with the rest of the feedback I compiled, though I was especially looking forward to yours. It's taking me a little longer to work through it and make changes than I thought. This design stuff isn't easy...but it is fun! Again, Thanks!

You think that's bad? Their 3rd level feature, Student of War, gives them proficiency with one type of artisan's tools. Really?!?! What the hell do Artisan's Tools have to do with the Study of War?!?! That's like reading Sun Tzu to learn how to use an Herbalism Kit...or a Forgery or Disguise...

Could either of you point me to this other thread? I've been looking back through the forum but I haven't found it - or maybe overlooked it. I want to mine it for ideas...

Ack!!! *repulsive shiver* While I would never want to admit to playing...that...it would probably be very effective. I'd think the majority of enemies would either run away in abject fear, or be disabled by uncontrollable laughter. And as a leader, do you really think anyone is going to...

What do you mean by context? Mechanical context? Narrative context? Setting context? Conceptual context? Seems to me if didn't fit with 5E, there wouldn't be a Battlemaster. The problem for Warlord fans is that a Battlemaster doesn't adequately fulfill the concept. But not fit within a 5E...

You used most for 5E fans, but no qualifier for 4E fans. Thus the implication. If that's not what you meant, I believe you. Cheers.

It doesn't. It precludes the implication you made that it's exclusively a vocal minority of 4E fans.

I said using a Healer's Kit or the Healer Feat is the D&D equivalent of CPR. If you don't want to see it that way, that's fine; but it doesn't change the fact. Even historically, mouth to mouth resuscitation was known as early as 850BC (Elisha in the Bible - Book of Kings). Paracelsus...

Incorrect. I am not a fan of 4E, but was a fan of the 4E Warlord concept - and I'm most certainly very vocal about wanting one for 5E. I would doubt I'm the only one. I'm just not that unique...:o

That's one way of looking at it - if one is so inclined. I tend to think that if the designers weren't True Fans of Rangers, they would be saying "Let them eat cake!" Instead, they are putting a lot of work into trying to make the perfect cake - with this their third try!!! In my opinion...

Not bad. That's a pretty decent start.

Ahhh...and Yuck!!! I've mostly ignored the Feats because frankly, I think they almost universally suck. Reintroducing 3E DR? Yet another reason for me to not use the PHB Feats. That feat is incredibly clunky; and it's not the only one.

Yes there is. If one takes damage equal to or greater than their max HP after reaching 0 HP, or after three failed death saves. That's it. The D&D 5E equivalent of CPR is use of a Healer's Kit or using the Healer Feat - neither of which work after the above conditions are met. This is...

Which rule?

Wow! That's definitely no Puck or Tumnus! If Lucy had met him in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, it would have been a whole different story!

Oh good grief... Oh good grief - Oh good grief. (I'm doubling-down on your double-down...)
